[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unlike you apparently, I trust my teens to not get in such situations.

But yes, if your teen's a junkie, teach them to recognize an overdose. [/quote]

You realize YOUR kid doesn't have to be a junkie in order to benefit  from knowing how to identify overdose / alcohol poisoning? THe OP is suggesting there is always reason to teach them how to recognize this in others. So, you know when your good kid is the only sober one at a party and someone passes out and starts vomiting, at least they will know what to do to save a life, rather than leaving that person to die.

Aside from that, even good kids sometimes make mistakes. I have a friend who got alcohol poisoning the very first time she drank, which also was after she became of age. Ended up in hospital for a week. She had no idea how much alcohol she could or couldn't handle and was just "going with the flow" when people were buying rounds. She didn't mean to almost end up dead, but there it is. [/quote]
